It's hard not to humanize the rovers, especially after seeing this. We learned so much from these missions and for the work they did. Though her sister shut down long before her, Opportunity kept going despite all odds, and all projections - as if it knew how much this meant to us. Maybe one day when we make our way to that distant red rock, we can find her grave once again. Perhaps we can even bring her home. Thank you for the video. Rest easy, Opportunity - you've earned it. o7
Right?! I though it was just my autism causing me to anthropomorphize inanimate objects again, but it seems like everyone seems to think of the Mars rovers and other space machines as almost alive and sapient. They learn, face and overcome problems, and eventually they die, leaving behind a legacy and some degree of sadness, just like us. They also carry with them the hopes and dreams of humanity as a collective whole. Or maybe we’re just all a little autistic. Lol.

I do love it when these pieces of tech painstakingly designed and put together last longer than their designed shelf life. It's a great testimony to the fantastic team behind them all. Well done people... A mission to be proud of.
Just shows how capable we are as humans to build some of the most reliable, high quality machines possible but most of the time don’t because corporate CEO’s need to keep making year over year profits for their shareholders. And what’s the first thing they do to cut costs? Lower quality. NASA doesn’t have that problem since their goal is improving humanities understanding of our universe and there’s no profit to be made there. They get a set amount of money to budget with every year and use every dollar they get to make some of the highest quality tools imaginable. The James Webb space telescope is another great example of this too
This little guy was litteraly the embodiment of the story, "The little engine that could" big salute to helping progress humanity, god speed opportunity.
Mars has an atmospheric of CO2 with just 1% of earth’s pressure all bathed in deadly ionising radiation and blasted by abrasive toxic dust. Humans cannot live there without space suits. We would need fully sealed cabins much like the space craft that took people to the planet. Hopefully the dust won’t destroy the seals. Hopefully the people won’t go barking mad. Hopefully the years of low gravity won’t permanently ruin their health.
@@Dave5843-d9m I mean, terraforming mars is not impossible, there are methods with today's technology to do so, it is just that those methods may take us around 500-1000 years to do so, and even then it would only be a inferior earth, but is not impossible, and as technology advances maybe that millenia would turn a 100 years or 50 years.
made me tear up in the end there, poor guy, I wish they could've had a sendoff for all the hard work they'd done so far. rest easy opportunity, you made us humans proud
My passive reliance of mainstream media reporting of Opportunity had left me ignorant of the truly, awesome science that has come from this explorer. Thank you Astrum! As an engineer, I can understand the pessimism, yet am still bemused by the short mission lifetime estimates often assigned. Of course, space is harsh, yet the Voyagers are still operating using technology from the '70s.
This is what RUclips was made for, I almost feel guilty that I am watching this for free. I can't even imagine the level of ingenuity it took to make all the missions possible. Also, thanks a lot for this video I really appreciate it. Thank you, Alex.
Imagine setting up an experiment run exclusively by a brand new Game Gear, and still being able to run it more than a decade later. That's what Spirit and Opportunity were like; after a while, they were so old that even being outdated wasn't the problem, the parts were literally falling apart. Those two rovers are a credit to their makers, keepers, and human ingenuity.
I’m only 10 minutes into the video and I already can tell the amount of work that must have been to piece together Opportunity’s journey. This video should be featured on Nasa’s Opportunity website. Well done!
He was my little buddy. I was keeping tabs on him from the time he launched until they declared him lost. He was more than a rover, he signified hope, determination, and perseverance. And when I heard his last words....I never thought I'd cry over a robot, but there I was, bawling like I'd lost a close friend. I'll always remember you buddy.
Wow, I'm speechless by the quality of this documentary! The ending is heart breaking: "my battery is low and it's getting dark", good night Oppy. Thank you Astrum, this was an awesome documentary.
I remember crying when I first heard 'my battery is low and it's getting dark'. That was when I realized that I think of Mars rovers as something like clever little dogs that are doing a good job. Oppy was a Very Good Girl and I miss her very much.
@@brettvv7475 I’d say that not only is there nothing wrong with it, but that it anthropomorphizing things is an overall benefit. With a dog, if you feel like it is a member of your family you will care for it better. With Oppy, they could have been like, “It’s already fulfilled it’s mission, we’ll try to free it but oh well if we can’t.” Instead it was more like, “Ok let’s test everything we are getting this rover out of the sand.” The attachment to the rovers essentially ensured that we would do everything we could to keep them going as long as possible.
You people are sick lol... I wont be surprised when humans fall in love to robots in future meanwhile most real humans will be single and loved by none
I just want to point out how enjoyable and we'll crafted this documentary is. I especially like the absence of overdramatic wording, like in many TV productions. I also like that you don't just throw numbers at the audience, not to make understanding, but to impress and generate awfulness with figures that nobody can wrap his mind around.
So sad. Although it GREATLY outlived it’s expected mission, still just sad! The clapping when the mission was declared over was obviously sad clapping! This probe almost took on a life of its own.
This was amazing, I didn't even notice the video was over an hour long. It was just so intriguing. Spirit and Opportunity will always be two great contributors to our Mars explorations. I'm certain Perseverance will be the same. Thank you Astrum for the free, educational content. I'm very appreciative of this channel!

Hole in one for the landing sounds about right. Being 25km off after traveling about 56 million kilometers sounds like a pretty damn good shot to me. :D
@David Wang Wow, I was just being silly and you got all wound up over it. You might want to lay off the caffeine or something. Learn to chill out a little.
"My battery is low and it's getting dark..." Yeah, this is where I finally teared up. It's easy to be sad or upset but those emotions are quickly displaced by overwhelming excitement and awe in what Opportunity had accomplished. Sheer brilliance...
I have just watched this in full. Astrum, you have done a superb job of editing this into a spellbinding story, brilliantly engaging, well done. It demonstrates what committed engineers, designers, programmers etc, are capable of. It is extraordinary to me that an essentially mechanical robot, armed with smart travel capabilities and an on board laboratory survived as long as it did in an extremely mechanically toxic (dust) environment. Truly astonishing!
I know that the rover is probably forever dead, but it would be insane if one day it would get its battery restored and be able to communicate with earth again.

Yip 🥺 I’m kinda glad other people did as well, I didn’t feel as much of an idiot 😂 I remember back when it happened, it was on the news everywhere and I was greeting then too 🥺
All of the rovers amazed me. It's not a small feat to put an object onto another planet. And to have done so, so many times. Also, thank you very much for this video. It's fantastic to get a full mission compilation of Opportunity.
Centuries from now, when the robot race has colonized Mars, they will dig up the fossils of the first robot Mars explorers and teach young robots about how their bravery and sacrifice paved the way for robot civilization.
Unless the rovers A.I doesn't go Cylon and kill any colonist that comes near it. But seriously it was an amazing journey for the crew and a testament to human engineering, this mission will be a tough one to beat in the future.
I hope that one day we will go to Mars and turn the remains of Opportunity into a monument to the rover itself and all the people who worked with it for14 years here on earth
This was probably the most detailed documentation of our Mars mission, in one sitting, and is award recognition worthy. I’m serious, this appeals to any space, science, and history buff on so many levels. The average person wouldn’t know that this mission was ongoing for that long stretch of time, let alone have seen the many amazing photos sent back from this journey- it’s all documented right here! The time and care taken to gather this information and put it all together for us to enjoy in 1hr, we are truly grateful to you sir. Bravo!…………… (Slow clap, small tear runs down cheek)
The video got you emotionally attached to the machine giving the human race so much. Incredible recap of 10+ years journey of the incredible machine designed by incredible people. Thank you, Astrum. All thumbs up.
This was such a great run through of what Opportunity did. So exciting and beautiful. Robotics have come so far since it was built too, which makes what it did even more amazing. I hope we pick it up someday and bring it home.
Having lived and went to school in Titusville FL (home to most NASA scientists and closest city to Cape Canaveral) I went to school with kids whose parents were directly working on Opportunity. I actually recognize a few of the namesakes as friends parents. Pretty awesome, only at rare times like these do I really appreciate growing up in such a science conscious area of my country. Thanks for that & the awesome journey you've put together here.EDIT The parent I'm talking about was at a desk in the "shutdown" video from mission control, so awesome I KNEW IT.
I love the way that flerfers/science deniers have wilfully cut themselves off from appreciating this awe inspiring demonstration of human ingenuity and perseverance. It's their loss...
Yeah I need to finish watching this! Which is what I'm doing right now but I'll just start from the beginning :-) I was really happy when I saw the link to this particular video!
3.2M views!! Brilliant video, so informative and relaxing to listen to. I absolutely love Astrum videos. Without a doubt my favourite RUclips channel. Please keep up the good work Alex.
It's absolutely mind bending that this whole thing was conceived as 90 day mission. I followed this day to day in the early months and this video really brings in a flood of memories of that time. Amazing work, Alex.
I mean they would have to be disinfected you don’t want to bring any thing back from other countries or other worlds DNA are different might kill us all
After 3 months a new battery was installed by one of the 2 bases on Mars we have there ! The solar panels were somehow cleaned spotless and gleaming by the photo selfie taken ! NASA said wind cleaned it unexpectedly so i tried to clean the pollen off my truck and 100 mph for 1 minute did nothing lol ? We the public have flintstone technologies when the military has George Jetson technologies ! Whistle blowers say we have a 43 spaceship fleet in space now lol ! Its classified above our President as he is a temporary employee like Congress also ! We get fiction insted of truth !
I can't describe in words my love for this video, so well made! Crisp editing yet detailed enough. One of the best documentaries ever made, thanks Astrum!!
Thats a no-brainer. If anything, Opportunity and the other two right now is evidence that we can survive on Mars but at a very slow pace. Nonetheless, Oppy gonna have a shrine
Amazing to think that one day. these robots will be on display in some museum somewhere. Maybe even on Mars, with these videos playing in the background, documenting their intrepid little journeys.
SpaceX may one day in the very new future..start up a city on Mars..& maybe display some of these older decommissioned robots in a mars aerospace museum. I'll be long gone by then..but my grandkids might enjoy it!
This video made me kinda sad tbh, but so glad for all the engineers, scientists, project managers, and directors who made this 15 year-long mission possible! You won't be forgotten Opportunity!
@Man_Utd_Fan 10 You don't say! Nevertheless it did much more for humanity then most of the people - it deserved to be loved by people. It is not some mp3 player or smart phone - so you can say "it's just a thing"

@@inemanja Its an instrument of science and exploration that vastly outperformed its objectives. You can appreciate its value without anthropomorphizing it. The rover by itself doesn’t have much value, the science it taught us does.
Wow, I mean. wow. I did not know about your channel but got recommended this video. I love science and astronomy so I thought why not, lets have a look at this one, 1h later I'm finished watching and just wow. Stellar job, absolutely fantastic!
@David Wang i value human life over all things. im aware that where there is humanity, the trouble of the human condition will follow. all i was saying, david wang, was that if we get the chance to recover the machines that have sent us pictures of another freaking planet, we should, and then put them on display in a museum. how is that saying the robot is more important than a human?
Absolutely incredible to live in a time in which we have technology to do this. See a planet up close on on the planet. Sad that the robot died though. ...
That would've always been the expected end, however, lasting as long as it did was quite a remarkable achievement considering this was only supposed to be a three month mission. NASA deserves a HUGE round of applause for both Spirit and Opportunity missions! ☺️😁👍🥰♥️💯
I loved this (and all your other videos) video so much. It is so well made, your voice is calming, the music is always fitting and transitions perfectly... all of the beautifully displayed/said/explained info that flows... just, wow.
For people wondering - Opportunity outlived it's estimated lifespan by 59.46 times. What a legend.
So it lived 59 years in rover years.
@@Colt1775 assuming a human lifespan of 65 years, its closer to living to 3835 in rover years

What do you mean? What proof do you have that it’s not a Hollywood movie ?
I do love it when these pieces of tech painstakingly designed and put together last longer than their designed shelf life. It's a great testimony to the fantastic team behind them all. Well done people... A mission to be proud of.
Just shows how capable we are as humans to build some of the most reliable, high quality machines possible but most of the time don’t because corporate CEO’s need to keep making year over year profits for their shareholders. And what’s the first thing they do to cut costs? Lower quality. NASA doesn’t have that problem since their goal is improving humanities understanding of our universe and there’s no profit to be made there. They get a set amount of money to budget with every year and use every dollar they get to make some of the highest quality tools imaginable. The James Webb space telescope is another great example of this too
This little guy was litteraly the embodiment of the story, "The little engine that could" big salute to helping progress humanity, god speed opportunity.
This video should be playing in a museum next to opportunity’s twin that was left behind on earth.
What about next to opportunity itself?
When the ships for the new world will be ready, we'll come and rescue our old friend.
Mars has an atmospheric of CO2 with just 1% of earth’s pressure all bathed in deadly ionising radiation and blasted by abrasive toxic dust. Humans cannot live there without space suits. We would need fully sealed cabins much like the space craft that took people to the planet. Hopefully the dust won’t destroy the seals. Hopefully the people won’t go barking mad. Hopefully the years of low gravity won’t permanently ruin their health.
@@Dave5843-d9m I mean, terraforming mars is not impossible, there are methods with today's technology to do so, it is just that those methods may take us around 500-1000 years to do so, and even then it would only be a inferior earth, but is not impossible, and as technology advances maybe that millenia would turn a 100 years or 50 years.
@@joannot6706 I thought of that too!
After how hard Opportunity worked for us,
it at least deserves that respect😞
Yes.
made me tear up in the end there, poor guy, I wish they could've had a sendoff for all the hard work they'd done so far. rest easy opportunity, you made us humans proud
My passive reliance of mainstream media reporting of Opportunity had left me ignorant of the truly, awesome science that has come from this explorer. Thank you Astrum! As an engineer, I can understand the pessimism, yet am still bemused by the short mission lifetime estimates often assigned. Of course, space is harsh, yet the Voyagers are still operating using technology from the '70s.
This is what RUclips was made for, I almost feel guilty that I am watching this for free. I can't even imagine the level of ingenuity it took to make all the missions possible. Also, thanks a lot for this video I really appreciate it.
Thank you, Alex.

@@damiendavisisraelcom8603 you knowtii
This film should win an award. Thank you Astrum!
Imagine setting up an experiment run exclusively by a brand new Game Gear, and still being able to run it more than a decade later. That's what Spirit and Opportunity were like; after a while, they were so old that even being outdated wasn't the problem, the parts were literally falling apart. Those two rovers are a credit to their makers, keepers, and human ingenuity.
the most amazing thing discovered was how long they managed to keep this piece of engineering running. awesome job team
I believe they used atomic battery
I've RC cars at Radio Shacked better than that Tin Can 🤔 No not Tin Plastic Can.

beautiful comment
on mine too :' )
Me too
:(
On the flipside, if we ever make it to Mars we will probably retrieve all of our past rovers at some point, maybe for a museum of space exploration?
I’m only 10 minutes into the video and I already can tell the amount of work that must have been to piece together Opportunity’s journey. This video should be featured on Nasa’s Opportunity website. Well done!
He was my little buddy. I was keeping tabs on him from the time he launched until they declared him lost. He was more than a rover, he signified hope, determination, and perseverance. And when I heard his last words....I never thought I'd cry over a robot, but there I was, bawling like I'd lost a close friend. I'll always remember you buddy.
Wow, I'm speechless by the quality of this documentary! The ending is heart breaking: "my battery is low and it's getting dark", good night Oppy.
Thank you Astrum, this was an awesome documentary.
This documentary does not end with that. Because it never happened
@@ThatSB You have nothing else to do than writing stupidities online?
Why don't you go to see a doctor to try to fix your dead brain?
This is what RUclips is for. I can't believe I'm watching this for free.
yea this honestly feels like pirating a whole movie
When something is free, you are the product.
I pay allot for internet.. It was not free on any level.
@@hawkdsl Exactly! I pay my Internet provider £86 per month ($118) for all the services. It is NOT free.
You could mail me a dollar if it makes you feel better. Send it to Happy Guy 742 Evergreen Terrace...
I remember crying when I first heard 'my battery is low and it's getting dark'. That was when I realized that I think of Mars rovers as something like clever little dogs that are doing a good job. Oppy was a Very Good Girl and I miss her very much.
We have a tendency to anthropomorphize things, and there's nothing wrong with that imo.
I cried too
@@brettvv7475 I’d say that not only is there nothing wrong with it, but that it anthropomorphizing things is an overall benefit. With a dog, if you feel like it is a member of your family you will care for it better. With Oppy, they could have been like, “It’s already fulfilled it’s mission, we’ll try to free it but oh well if we can’t.” Instead it was more like, “Ok let’s test everything we are getting this rover out of the sand.” The attachment to the rovers essentially ensured that we would do everything we could to keep them going as long as possible.
You people are sick lol...
I wont be surprised when humans fall in love to robots in future meanwhile most real humans will be single and loved by none
@@ArjanTV Sorry you're having relationship troubles. Not sure youtube comments are the best place to project your frustrations.
I just want to point out how enjoyable and we'll crafted this documentary is.
I especially like the absence of overdramatic wording, like in many TV productions.
I also like that you don't just throw numbers at the audience, not to make understanding, but to impress and generate awfulness with figures that nobody can wrap his mind around.
I am more emotionally attached to this amazing little robot than I am to most humans and I dont know what to think about that
Little rovers like this do not threaten or kill things/people, not hard to love.
@@howardsimpson489 they would if they were coded to and had the hardware attached. Maybe you just don't like human agency.
""my battery is low, and it's getting dark." What a poetic end to such an epic story.
Yup, second runner up end liner is
“Beeee Gooooooood” *iron giant*
So sad. Although it GREATLY outlived it’s expected mission, still just sad! The clapping when the mission was declared over was obviously sad clapping! This probe almost took on a life of its own.
This was amazing, I didn't even notice the video was over an hour long. It was just so intriguing.
Spirit and Opportunity will always be two great contributors to our Mars explorations. I'm certain Perseverance will be the same.

Hole in one for the landing sounds about right. Being 25km off after traveling about 56 million kilometers sounds like a pretty damn good shot to me. :D
@David Wang Wow, I was just being silly and you got all wound up over it. You might want to lay off the caffeine or something. Learn to chill out a little.
The fact that Oppy made it through 15 years on another planet is phenomenal.
*With solar power on a dirty dusty place*
The 'steadfast little tin soldier'. RIP.
NASA engineering at its best
Just to rephrase knowledge helps
With a 90 sol expectancy at that!
National Geographic can only dream about that kind of a video! Was a pleasure to watch mate!
This is one of the best documentaries I've seen on RUclips. Congratulations and thank you for spending the time to create this.
"My battery is low and it's getting dark..."
Yeah, this is where I finally teared up. It's easy to be sad or upset but those emotions are quickly displaced by overwhelming excitement and awe in what Opportunity had accomplished. Sheer brilliance...
This was wholesome and I would totally watch a Pixar movie about a Mars rover.

@@SteveVi0lence ?
I have just watched this in full. Astrum, you have done a superb job of editing this into a spellbinding story, brilliantly engaging, well done.
It demonstrates what committed engineers, designers, programmers etc, are capable of. It is extraordinary to me that an essentially mechanical robot, armed with smart travel capabilities and an on board laboratory survived as long as it did in an extremely mechanically toxic (dust) environment. Truly astonishing!
I know that the rover is probably forever dead, but it would be insane if one day it would get its battery restored and be able to communicate with earth again.

My battery is low and it's getting dark here, too, little buddy. Goodnight!
This is a really extraordinary documentary about a really extraordinary achievement. One of the best videos I have seen in a long, long time.
Did anyone else start to cry when he said “my battery is low and it’s getting dark”?
Yea
Totally i did drop a bit of my tear and really want to cry out loud when the earth control finally declared it's dead., 😭😭😭😭😭😭.., imagine what the opportunity rover overcome of what they did expect of total sol limit., and so for that imagine what's the earth team behind of it felt from the star to end of this OR journey., i myself almost want to cry just by watching this video so i imagine how about them., 😭😭😭😭😭
Yip 🥺 I’m kinda glad other people did as well, I didn’t feel as much of an idiot 😂
I remember back when it happened, it was on the news everywhere and I was greeting then too 🥺
Musk ,must live in mars.
I cried when Astrum narrated "panoramic photo of Oppie's final resting place."
I just love the fact they name everything they come across. There is just something charming about it.
All of the rovers amazed me. It's not a small feat to put an object onto another planet. And to have done so, so many times.
Also, thank you very much for this video. It's fantastic to get a full mission compilation of Opportunity.
We could have always fed the poor or rescued kids from child trafficking. Or overturned Roe v Wade. Ya think 🤔
Centuries from now, when the robot race has colonized Mars, they will dig up the fossils of the first robot Mars explorers and teach young robots about how their bravery and sacrifice paved the way for robot civilization.
I’m sure they’ll collect all these little BotsAnd put Them in the Mars museum on Mars one day
@@emmanuelstamatakis8218 but the way they do with mummies

Unless the rovers A.I doesn't go Cylon and kill any colonist that comes near it. But seriously it was an amazing journey for the crew and a testament to human engineering, this mission will be a tough one to beat in the future.
Great idea for a book
"Contact has been lost with Opportunity.." Welcome to my life.
Lol
Awww! Not for long! Onward and upwards!
domo arigato ironic detacho
😂😂😂😂😢
Looool
I hope that one day we will go to Mars and turn the remains of Opportunity into a monument to the rover itself and all the people who worked with it for14 years here on earth
This was probably the most detailed documentation of our Mars mission, in one sitting, and is award recognition worthy.
I’m serious, this appeals to any space, science, and history buff on so many levels. The average person wouldn’t know that this mission was ongoing for that long stretch of time, let alone have seen the many amazing photos sent back from this journey- it’s all documented right here! The time and care taken to gather this information and put it all together for us to enjoy in 1hr, we are truly grateful to you sir. Bravo!……………
(Slow clap, small tear runs down cheek)
at the end it felt like we lost a living soul, a human or something, opportunity was like a friend ! sleep in peace my friend!
The video got you emotionally attached to the machine giving the human race so much. Incredible recap of 10+ years journey of the incredible machine designed by incredible people. Thank you, Astrum. All thumbs up.
This was such a great run through of what Opportunity did. So exciting and beautiful. Robotics have come so far since it was built too, which makes what it did even more amazing. I hope we pick it up someday and bring it home.
Having lived and went to school in Titusville FL (home to most NASA scientists and closest city to Cape Canaveral) I went to school with kids whose parents were directly working on Opportunity. I actually recognize a few of the namesakes as friends parents. Pretty awesome, only at rare times like these do I really appreciate growing up in such a science conscious area of my country. Thanks for that & the awesome journey you've put together here.EDIT The parent I'm talking about was at a desk in the "shutdown" video from mission control, so awesome I KNEW IT.
The fact that we put that on mars as a species is mind blowing
Wait til you see what's coming from Perseverance. It's already astounding.
@@alistersutherland3688 anything from Cydonia?

"my battery is low and it's getting dark"
- Opportunity
😭
Very poignant
💔💜🙏
What an incredible rover, with such amazing achievements (and the NASA team as well). Hope you're having a well-deserved rest, Opportunity.
It's absolutely mind bending that this whole thing was conceived as 90 day mission. I followed this day to day in the early months and this video really brings in a flood of memories of that time. Amazing work, Alex.
I love the addition of where the image comes from at all times. It’s such an honest, useful detail.
In the future we must bring this rovers back and put them in museums, they are worth keeping it there.
I mean they would have to be disinfected you don’t want to bring any thing back from other countries or other worlds DNA are different might kill us all
Excellent Astrum, this is one of your best. Didn't even realise I was watching for over an hour.
Oppy will always make grown men like me cry. It was the sum of all the dreams, hope, efforts, dedication, and determination.
What a fantastic video. I never knew how successful the opportunity mission really was. Thank you for putting this all into perspective.
"My battery is low and it's getting dark"
You can put that on my headstone.
Build something that’s meant to last 90 sols... lasts 1900+ sols... that’s good engineering....
I sometimes feel that it was designed for 1000 sols but was lied that it would last only 90 sols
After 3 months a new battery was installed by one of the 2 bases on Mars we have there !
The solar panels were somehow cleaned spotless and gleaming by the photo selfie taken !
NASA said wind cleaned it unexpectedly so i tried to clean the pollen off my truck and 100 mph for 1 minute did nothing lol ?
We the public have flintstone technologies when the military has George Jetson technologies !
Whistle blowers say we have a 43 spaceship fleet in space now lol !
Its classified above our President as he is a temporary employee like Congress also !

"My battery is low and its getting dark" nearly brings me to tears when I here it. Every. Damn. Time.
I have a weird feeling of guilt for being able to watch this masterpiece for free ! truly amazing... thank you so much :)
Give them a one month sub for a dollar. You’d be amazed how quick those add up.
Dang it...I cried when Oppy sent its final message. Rest well with your sister. And THANK YOU for holding on so long. Thank you for everything😢
Like these longer episodes.
1000% same
Me too
Same
It's equivalent to the series he made like a year ago
To me like these
Probably wouldn't have been able to watch at all without you. Thank you
I can't describe in words my love for this video, so well made! Crisp editing yet detailed enough. One of the best documentaries ever made, thanks Astrum!!
If I hadn't read that this was a compilation rather than one long recording, I wouldn't have noticed.
I can't believe I actually cried for a robot's death (knowing its final words didn't help)
Guaranteed-Most all who watched this whole episode felt that too.
I understand you !! 🤣🤣
Well that’s the difference between a machine and a human organism Proves you’re a man with a heart and soul
Madlad made an hour long movie about a robot looking at rocks and it held my attention the whole time.
This is amazing! a free documentary! Thank you Astrum!
Very great documentary. Didn't know Opportunity Rover lasted 15 years. That's impressive
So When we eventually have astronauts and colony’s on Mars , can we put the rovers in a place of honor in a Martin Museum?
Thats a no-brainer. If anything, Opportunity and the other two right now is evidence that we can survive on Mars but at a very slow pace. Nonetheless, Oppy gonna have a shrine
I'd guess if we do send people the Mars, it will be prison people. Isn't that what English people did and now we have America and Australia
Kids are going to visit them in a museum,beginning in 2040 or 2045,in "The Martian International Museum"...i hope.
Opportunity, one of the greatest explorers of our lifetime. A true hero indeed. Hopefully we'll meet again some day!
Amazing to think that one day. these robots will be on display in some museum somewhere. Maybe even on Mars, with these videos playing in the background, documenting their intrepid little journeys.
That would be great. It only requires a vehicle to find and bring back the rovers to a landingzone for a spacecraft to bring it back to earth
SpaceX may one day in the very new future..start up a city on Mars..& maybe display some of these older decommissioned robots in a mars aerospace museum. I'll be long gone by then..but my grandkids might enjoy it!
That’s if this is even real
This should be played at every school, inspiring. Thanks
This video made me kinda sad tbh, but so glad for all the engineers, scientists, project managers, and directors who made this 15 year-long mission possible! You won't be forgotten Opportunity!
This is one of the most amazing thing I've seen in my life. Thank you for making these discoveries so accessible to us simple ass people
It makes me sad to hear that Opportunity died, alone, like that. It was a good boy. Thank you Astrum for this wonderful content
@Man_Utd_Fan 10 You don't say!
Nevertheless it did much more for humanity then most of the people - it deserved to be loved by people.
It is not some mp3 player or smart phone - so you can say "it's just a thing"
I agree with u...I know it was a machine but needs to be recognised
@@inemanja but it's rover, are you denying that fact?
Sometimes people use their emotions way too much than their brain. It's a shame because this is a science channel.
@@inemanja Its an instrument of science and exploration that vastly outperformed its objectives. You can appreciate its value without anthropomorphizing it. The rover by itself doesn’t have much value, the science it taught us does.
@@Somm_RJ Humans are wired that way. Perhaps you should download your consciousness into an AI system?
Wow, I mean. wow. I did not know about your channel but got recommended this video. I love science and astronomy so I thought why not, lets have a look at this one, 1h later I'm finished watching and just wow. Stellar job, absolutely fantastic!
Astrum is one of the greatest youtube channels of all time.
if we ever land people on Mars, i do hope we take the time to recover these rovers if theyre nearby. they deserve proper recognition back at home
@David Wang i value human life over all things. im aware that where there is humanity, the trouble of the human condition will follow. all i was saying, david wang, was that if we get the chance to recover the machines that have sent us pictures of another freaking planet, we should, and then put them on display in a museum. how is that saying the robot is more important than a human?
@@p1ratesail0r I would rather spend the millions upon millions to do that on more science experiments imo like taking the dirt/rocks back.
I legitimately cried at the end. For a robot. I'm 25
Curiosity sung itself "Happy Birthday" to celebrate the end of its first year on Mars.
Absolutely incredible to live in a time in which we have technology to do this. See a planet up close on on the planet. Sad that the robot died though. ...
That would've always been the expected end, however, lasting as long as it did was quite a remarkable achievement considering this was only supposed to be a three month mission.
NASA deserves a HUGE round of applause for both Spirit and Opportunity missions! ☺️😁👍🥰♥️💯
I can't thank you enough, this was the very best documentary that I ever seem about opportunity and Mars exploration.
I loved this (and all your other videos) video so much. It is so well made, your voice is calming, the music is always fitting and transitions perfectly... all of the beautifully displayed/said/explained info that flows... just, wow.
